IA 1961 TEACHER PROFILE Berth Native Teaches English At SDHS By Ken Papple) This week Mr. Vodden is un- der the teacher profile spot- light. As many of you already know, he is in the English de- partment of our school. Mr. Vodden is no stranger to our area, since he is a native of Blyth. where his parents still BROCK VODDEN reside. When he came to Sea - forth, it was just like moving home. Mr. Vodden received his pub- lic school education in Blyth and graduated from the Clinton Collegiate, He took the Gen- eral Arts course at the Univers- ity of Toronto and received his B.A. in 1956, While he was In university he majored in his- tory, but enjoyed philosophy and English most. The follow- ing year he attended teachers' college in Toronto and secured his teacher's certificate. Mr.•dVodden began his teach- ing career in a Scarborough public school, where he remain- ed for two years. Next, he join- ed the staff of the Sanford pub- lic school (Sanford is a suburb of Niagara Falls). In both these schools he taught drama and English. Mr. Vodden is a married man and has a son, John. He is very interested in exa- curricular activities, and iS di- rector of the Drama Club, pian- ist of the Glee Club, and super- visor of The Chatterbox. When I questioned him about his hobbies, he replied that he did not have much time for them, but did enjoy reading. His favorite types of books are history, poetry and plays, and some classics. WRITER SUGGESTS DENTISTRY AS A PROFESSIONAL CAREER (By Joyce Brown) Are you interested in dentis- try, or had you thought of be- coming a dentist? This, I hope, will enlighten your views on this profession. Would you be a good dentist? Here are some qualities a good dentist should possess: Intelli- gence, integrity, honesty, good judgment, sense of moral obli- gation, sympathy, pleasing per- sonality and, last but certainly not least, good health. Opportunities: As one of the leading health professions, den- tistry offers many different op- portunities. The majority of dentists are in private practise, but many -are limited to one type of dental care. Increasing Government par- ticipation in health services may mean more salaried opportuni- ties for dentists. There are also positions in the armed services for dentists for those of you who are interested. There is a very great demand for dentists, as there was in 1957 only one dentist for every 3,000 citizens. There is no pro- fession in which the opportuni- ties are greater or the demand more acute than in dentistry. Opportunities For Girls Boys aren't the only ones in- terdsted in dentistry, as is prov- en by statistics from Scandina- via, where 80 per cent of the dentists are women. Don't feel embarrassed, girls, if this is your profession -to -be. Now come the requirements. These are mainly the sciences, of which the main ones are phy- ics, chemistry and biology. Degree: The degrees which one can receive are: Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), or Doc- tor of Dental Medicine (DDM). Cost is also of great impor- tance. In 1957, the average cost of a dental course was about $825.00 per year, and room and board averaging about $700 per year. If you live at home, this reduces the cost considerably. The phases of dentistry are many and involved; therefore, I will not discuss these points, except that there are many di- visions. Income is what most people are interested in. By„and large, the average income of a dentist ranges from $7,000 to $13,000 Bookshelf A STRANGER TO THE SHORE—Kenneth Dodson. Kurt Maeller, a young ship's carpenter, becomes involved with the Nazi underground in Chile while on shore leave. His subsequent involvement with a Iovely young woman leads to a situation in which Kurt must kill a man in self-defence. Suspense and action create a fast-moving story guaranteed to intrigue the reader until he has finished the last page. CITY NURSE—Peggy Gaddi. Let's read a little about an- other "Florence Nightingale". This is the heart-warming story of a young nurse who becomes entangled in a household of old men, small children and tedious sisters-in-law. `Phis tale is very humorous. THE LIGHT IN 'rut FOREST —Conrad Richter. What can a "white Indian" do when his white relations claim him and take hint from the only family he has never known? This story shows all the cruelty, misunderstanding and hatred on both sides of the white -Indian wart!. For this boy is both indlan and white, yet neither, He loves and IS loved by red people And white, but neither race can accept hint. This fit .a story withodt• end, a question without an tower. per year. Advantages are many. A den- tist has independence, prestige, satisfaction and a good income. The main disadvantages are ex- penses, cost' of education and one's time, but these are really compensated for by the advant- ages. The right to use the initials, D.D.S. or D.N.D. after your name is not earned easily. Time, money and serious study are all required. But for those possess- ing suitable qualifications, the profession of dentistry can be a most revirrding career. Canada Oust have more den- tists in order to provide the amount of dental health care needed in this country, .� Girls' Sports (By Linda Papple) The girls of our school would like to welcome Miss Slavin, our new Physical Edue'i'i`ion teacher. Something quite different for the girls of SDHS this year is playing soccer. Now that Grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 have learned the fundamentals, there have been some lively games in the outside classes. Volleyball is always a favor- ite among students. The senior and junior teams have been selected and practices are held Tuesday and Thursday noon and Monday after four. The members of the senior team are: Pam Stapleton, hIarg Stapleton, Geraldine Dennis, Geraldine McTaggart, Linda Cornell, Marg Elliott, Phyllis Bryans, Joan Pryce, Elsie Doig and Cathy Eckert. The junior squadron this year includes: Meta Reeves, Roba Doig, Joyce Storey, Grace Stephenson, Wendy Moore, Barb Turnbull, Cheryl Moore, Mary Jenn McLean, Darlene Sills, Terry Vanderhoek, Pam Powell and Julene Elliott. Once again the entire student body has been divided into col- or teams. The catpains for this year are: Gold—Pam Stapleton White—Marg Stapleton Black—Geraldine McTaggart Red—Carolyn Hammond. Color teams apply to all in- termural sport s. Academic standing is also considered. Points are designated for the various events. At the end of the year the points are totalled to see which team has had the best standing throughout the year. STUDENT PROFILE (By Bruce Miller) One of the shorter members of our senior basketball team was chosen as the subject for the Grade XIII Student's Profile this time. Dark blond and solidly built, this young fellow is one of the sources that supplies that ever - ready joke. Always ready with a smile on the gloomiest of days, he is popular with both the girls and the boys, for ev- eryone enjoys a bit of humor. His popularity gained him the position of CIass Representa- tive for Grade XIII this year, as well as a place on the com- mittee that thought up the hum- orous stunts for initiation. Probably everyone knows of Whom I am speaking now; but to enlighten the rest of you, it Is Lloyd Pethiek.

Gisela.Relbig and Robert Sharp ALL ABOUT FOOTBALL Band Is Big Hit (By Gisela Helbig) No doubt an inexperienced girl watching our football team scrambling around the field gets an idea that the game goes something like this: Both teams run aimlessly around, playing with the ball. Suddenly every- one piles up on the ball -carrier. After he is carried away, it starts all over again. Sometimes one man gets away with the ball and starts running because he doesn't want to be piled up on. Then everybody cheers. Occasionally a fellow in a prison - type shirt jumps up and down and starts making signs, which nobody understands. Rugby originated at Rugby School in 1823. The score was 0 to 0 in a soccer game, with seconds left to play. Finally EIlis picked up the ball and ran across the goal -line with it. That was the first touch -down in history. Football, as we know it, fs a modified version of rug- by The objective of the game is to get the ball across the other team's goal line. When a team has possession of the ball, it is called the offensive team; the other is called the defen- sive team. There is usually a different set of offensive play- ers a nd defensive players. When a team has the ball, it has three chances to advance, the ball ten yards towards the enemy's goal. If it fails to do this the other team gets the bat 8 Each chance is called a do n. "Second down and three yar s to go" means that the team has advanced seven yards on its first chance, and must advance three more yards in An Invitation To Meet Grad' Nine (By Bonnie Uhler) All hail to two class Reps ! Who is she? That pretty blue-eyed blonde with the win- ning smile. I'll give you some clues, She is 9 -C's class repres- entative in the Students' Coun- cil. This fair maiden is lucky enough to have her father teaching here at SDHS. When she was asked how school could be improved, her response was: "Less homework and more spares." Her plans as yet are not definite, although she hopes to complete Grade 13, at least. She has no main interests. in particular, but as a spectator enjoys school sports. Her fav- orite subject is science. In her opinion, "all the teachers are nice." No doubt, by now you have guessed that she is none other than CHRISTIE DOBSON. Next, our attention is focus- ed on 9 -A's class rep. She is another charming young lady with lovely long auburn hair, brown eyes and a pleasant "Hi!" to greet you. She has many in- terests. She plans to go all the way to Grade 13 and then to university. Her ambitions are to be a physio -therapist (study- ing human muscles) and to do a bit of acting on the sideline. This pretty miss doesn't limit her activities to school -work, Take a peek and you'll find her on the Students' Council, the volleyball team and the drama club. In her mind, school can't' be improved. She enjoys all sports in and out of school. Her favorite subjects are math, sci- ence and French. Next time you see her in the hall, please say hello to MARY JENN Mc - LEAN. Sport Sparks By Ken Papple) Last Thursday the home town squad came out on top with a score of 7 to 6 against the Clin- ton team. Bill Teall raced over the line for the TD, and also took one point for a safety touch, Come, gang, let's go, go, GO! We're all behind you. Players: BiII Campbell (6)—flanker Karl Campbell—tackle and full- back Ken Devereaux — defensive tackle Don Crozier (14)—corner line- backer Ken Bedard (5)—tertiary Jim Dick (11) --offensive tackle Tom Dick (2) -quarterback Paul Rau—left flanker John Patterson (8)—flanker Joe Steffler (15)—middle line- backer Bill Uhler (10) — defensive tackle, punter Bob Elliott (12)—inside line- backer Bill Teall—quarterback Bruce Whitmore (17)—fullback Brian Traviss (19) — defensive tackle Richard Muegge (21)—centre Tom Philips (7) --tertiary Fred Uhler (18) — defensive tackle Ken Storey (13)—defensive end Doug Mills (24)—left guard Dave Mills (20)—right guard Jim Sills (16) --linebacker Gerald Wiliiamson—tackle Peter Sillery--defensive end Fill Mowat (41) --defensive end Citable llaekUx1. George Akr gbtickle the next two downs to maintain possession of the ball. There are five scoring piays— the touchdown (TD), worth 6 points; the convert, worth one; the field goal, worth 3; the rouge, worth 2; andthe safety touch, worth one. For a touch- down, the ball fllust be carried over the goal -line, or a pass completed across it. After a touch -down, the scoring team can get a convert by' kicking the ball over the crosspiece from the 15 -yard line. (The ball may go no higher than the top of the posts as it passes over the crosspiece.) In a field goal, the ball is kicked over the cross- piece from anywhere on the field. If the ball is kicked over the goal -line and the defensive team can not get it back, you have a safety touch. If a player carrying the ball runs back over his own goal -line, and is held there, the opposing team has a rouge.
